Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District | 31315 Chaney St. Lake Elsinore, CA 92531 | (951) 674-3146 | www.EVMWD.com A Message from the General Manager At Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District, we are dedicated to bringing high quality and reliable water service to you. This means investing wisely in our local water supplies and infrastructure, keeping costs low, and providing excellent service into the future. Over the past year, California faced an unprecedented drought with increased water restrictions imposed by the State. EVMWD is tapping into previously unused local groundwater as one way to increase drinking water supplies. Utilizing reserve funds, EVMWD is investing $10 million into a new Water Storage and Recovery Program to increase our community’s groundwater supply. This program will lessen our dependence on water from Northern California and the Colorado River. Along with enhanced infrastructure and new projects, EVMWD is also refinancing debt to offset high interest costs. EVMWD is utilizing reserves without placing the burden on our customers. Over the next three years, these projects will allow EVMWD to expand its supply of affordable groundwater, reducing the need for expensive imported water . EVMWD maintains its commitment to high quality water standards, in addition to its promise of reliability. This year, as in previous years, EVMWD met and exceeded all health and safety regulations, providing a clean and safe water supply to each of our more than 140,000 customers. EVMWD performed 14,000 tests for more than 150 contaminants, meeting or surpassing the standards to safely and reliably deliver water to our customers. While this report shares important information about EVMWD’s water quality, we would also like to highlight the continued importance of conservation. Over the past year our customers have shown their commitment to water conservation by complying with the state’s mandatory conservation requirements. Dry times are becoming the new normal for California and water saving is essential, so we ask that our customers continue their excellent conservation work. Since 70 percent of water use is outdoors, EVMWD has proactively offered a landscape resolution which was adopted by the City of Lake Elsinore and City of Wildomar requiring all new construction to use California friendly landscapes and water efficient irrigation. EVMWD also created a demonstration garden at the Storm Baseball Stadium and at its Chaney Street Headquarters, called Elsinore Eddie Efficient Gardens, providing customers a glimpse of how beautiful a drought tolerant garden can be. At www.eddiegardens.com, our new all-inclusive gardening website, you can take a virtual tour of the gardens, find guides on water efficient irrigation and California friendly plants, and utilize template designs for your yard. EVMWD prides itself on providing high quality water and waste water service to all of our customers. We invite you to visit our website at www.evmwd.com for our newest innovations, upcoming workshops, and rebate offers. Sincerely, John D. Vega, General Manager Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District 1 INVESTING IN THE FUTURE OF OUR COMMUNITY Infrastructure Enhancement: The Future of Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District EVMWD is committed to providing high quality, reliable water service to our customers. EVMWD staff work tirelessly to protect, maintain, and improve our community’s assets, from storage tanks to underground pipelines. Proactive maintenance and improvement projects do more than just increase efficiency, they save money in the long run by preventing expensive repairs and keeping the systems running effectively. Recognizing that maintenance of our infrastructure is crucial, EVMWD has made great strides to rehabilitate and replace important assets. Over the past two years, water rates have allowed EVMWD to complete many projects including: 18,708 Feet of 20 Water Storage 2 New Pump Water Pipeline Replaced Tank (Reservoir) Stations Completed Rehabilitations & 1 new tank added Cost of Investment: In fiscal years 2014 and 2015, EVMWD invested $32 million into local projects to improve infrastructure, ensuring reliable water service to our customers. Although much work has been accomplished, there is more to be done. EVMWD currently has an additional 14 potable water improvement projects in design or in construction. EVMWD is also utilizing its reserve funds to invest an additional $10 million into water storage and recovery programs to expand our water supplies for the future. These funds are at no additional cost to our rate payers. Investment Results: As water has become increasingly limited, efficiency of its production, delivery, use, and storage has become more important. Investment in rehabilitating wells improves water production and extends the life of the well and pump. Replacing deteriorating water pipes reduces staff time to make repairs, disruption of water service, and potable water loss. Rehabilitation of reservoirs improves water quality, reduces risk of water loss, and extends the life of the reservoir. 2 NEW WATER PROJECTS STRENGTHEN EVMWD’S LOCAL WATER SUPPLY EVMWD continues to look for new and efficient ways to secure reliable water supplies, without further burdening our customers. EVMWD knows that increasing our drinking water supplies by tapping into local groundwater is a sensible way to manage supplies. Utilizing reserves, EVMWD is investing $10 million into a new Water Storage and Recovery Program to increase our community’s water supply. Along with enhanced infrastructure and new projects, EVMWD is also refinancing debt to offset high interest costs. EVMWD is utilizing reserves without placing the burden on our customers. Over the next three years, these projects will allow EVMWD to expand its supply of affordable groundwater, reducing the need for expensive imported water. Over the next three years, Before After EVMWD is 12 Local 20 Local Adding new groundwater supplies Wells Wells Adding recycled water capacity for 9% 12% 68% irrigation supplies and water storage Drinking Water Drinking Water 57% Supplies 23% Supplies Reducing the need for expensive 31% imported water from Northern Imported Water Imported Water California & the Colorado River Groundwater Groundwater Canyon Lake Canyon Lake RESULTS: More local supplies means reduced demand for imported water With the increase in local water supplies, the demand for expensive imported water will be reduced 5,000 acre feet each year. This is enough to supply water to 10,000 families of 4 each year. 3 WATER SAVINGS AND REBATES Customers have excelled at water conservation and EVMWD encourages customers to keep up the good work. Over the past year, customers have taken advantage of numerous rebates through EVMWD and it has resulted in: Over 200,000 square feet of grass has been pre-inspected for removal and replacement to water friendly landscapes. That’s over 18 million gallons of water saved every year! More than $75,000 in incentives has been rebated. Over 2,000 sprinkler heads have been replaced with high efficiency heads.

    Santa Ana Basin Climate and Recreation in the Newsletter Date Santa Ana River Watershed Results Is Lake Elsinore in danger of drying up? Lake Elsinore, shown in Figure 1, is southern California’s largest natural lake and is situated at the bottom of the San Jacinto Watershed. Because Lake Elsinore is a terminal lake, fed only by rain and natural runoff, it has been impacted by low lake levels. In 2005, Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District (EVMWD) began a two year project to introduce recycled water into Lake Elsinore to stabilize lake levels. The project delivers approximately 5 MGD of recycled water to Lake Elsinore, and includes repair and Key Findings retrofit of three local, shallow groundwater wells that deliver approximately 1 MGD. An analysis was Lake Elsinore has less than a done to determine if these measures would be enough to meet the minimum goal volume of 41,704 10% chance of drying up. acre-ft (elevation of 1,240 ft), avoid low lake levels (below 24,659 acre-ft, elevation of 1,234 ft), or pre- vent the lake from drying up all together (as occurred in the 1930s).

    SMP 2015-01 / RP 2006-01A2 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT 4.7 HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY 4.7 HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY 4.7.1 SCOPE OF REVIEW The Nichols Canyon Mine, as discussed in Section 2.0, Environmental Setting, is an existing, ongoing surface mining operation operating pursuant to vested mining rights and an approved reclamation plan (RP 2006-01A1), which was analyzed in a prior MND. Although the City has chosen to prepare an EIR for the Project here, the scope of review addresses those impacts resulting from the Project as described in Section 3.0, Project Description, and not impacts related to existing, approved operations, which form the environmental baseline, as discussed in Section 2.7, Existing Physical Site Conditions. Accordingly, this Subsection analyzes hydrology and water quality impacts related to the Project specifically. This Subsection does not analyze hydrology and water quality impacts related to existing, approved operations. 4.7.2 EXISTING CONDITIONS The Nichols Canyon Mine is located within the jurisdiction of the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB). Accordingly, the analysis contained in this Subsection is based in part on information obtained from the Santa Ana RWQCB’s Santa Ana River Basin Water Quality Control Plan (updated June 2011) and the Integrated Regional Water Management Plan (IRWMP) for the Santa Ana River Watershed (also referred to as “One Water One Watershed,” dated November 16, 2010), prepared by the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority (SAWPA). The Nichols Canyon Mine is located within the service area of the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District (EVMWD), so general information also was obtained from the 2010 EVMWD Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP).
